Ever wonder how BOSTON got its name or how BOSTON’s sound came to be? Here are some answers to those and a lot of other questions about The Origin of Boston:

Hess Entertainment is so very happy to welcome legendary blues man BB King to the Marina Civic Center in Panama City, Florida on January 10, 2012

His reign as King of the Blues has been as long as that of any monarch on earth. Yet B.B. King continues to wear his crown well. At age 76, he is still light on his feet, singing and playing the blues with relentless passion. Time has no apparent effect on B.B., other than to make him more popular, more cherished, more relevant than ever. Don't look for him in some kind of semi-retirement; look for him out on the road, playing for people, popping up in a myriad of T.V. commercials, or laying down tracks for his next album. B.B. King is as alive as the music he plays, and a grateful world can't get enough of him.
